Ayurvedic Consultation is an important step in your treatment as it enables you to understand your physical, mental and emotional health and illness.

Ayurvedic Detox

Panchakarma, the gem of Ayurveda, is the term used in Ayurvedic classics for detox, which was derived from Sanskrit, indicating five actions. When something upsets body, it expels them mostly through nose, vomiting, sweat, stool, etc. Ayurveda uses these natural ways of cleansing in an increased but controlled way through panchakarma.
